Importing
aperturedbtriggers a blocking HTTP request to PyPI to check for the latest version. In air-gapped, VPN-restricted, or slow network environments this hangs indefinitely, blocking any program that imports the package — even if the DB itself is local.Change
timeout=1to therequests.getcall in__init__.py. On timeout, the existingexcept Exceptionhandler logs a warning and skips the version check, allowing the import to proceed immediately.
